Guess an ACR will look good on the backseat of a Bentley...
3K for the enhanced? No way.. |
|
Fuck that. I'm buying and XCR, and I was only putting that off because the initial price for the ACR was supposed to be about $1500.

|
No way Im paying out for that. Looks like Noveske or Larue gets my savings this year.
|
|
yeah the talk of 1500 got me figuring out how I could get the cash. if its over 2k forget about it.

I would hold off until official word get released. This not what we have been told the base model price was going to be. I thought you guys were working with BM on this? Did you guys also agree on the 1:9? |

Sure they signed contracts/rights so they can't tell but will be interesting to see if we ever hear. I am disappointed with the price tag. Just remember that bushmaster probably also has to pay magpul a royalty on each ACR they sell. Just saying.... |

2k and under I was in, if it is $2700+, they can keep it. but even at that price people will still buy it. look at all the dummies that paid out the ass for a SCAR.

Unverified, 3rd hand scuttlebutt indicates that the final product development was out of their hands. Magpul will probably neither confirm nor deny. But said rumors make sense. 1/9 twist barrels has "Bushmaster" and not "Magul" written all over it |
|
That's a lot of money but if I had the ducats I'd totally get one
|
|
i was really looking forward to getting one this year too...... but at $2700 if it becomes true its not going to happen
maybe next year if the price changes any |
|
Yeah, I'm gunna wait and see what the official price is gunna be. I've been waiting a few years for this gun now, but if the basic version goes for much over $1,500, look's like I'm finally buyin a PTR91!
|
|
$2700 is probably MSRP, I bet street price is much lower once the novelty wears off. You have to admit that demand is high enough to probably sell every one they can make at $2700 for a while.
|
|
2700?
That's a lot of HJ's, BJ's and ZJ's... I better get started. Damn... |
|
Quoted: Quoted: Msrp around 2700.00 Keep it. Not going to sell too many at that price. I wont give them a dime over $1,500.00 period. Their build cost is about 1k from what friends there tell me. |
|
If the price is that high I'm out. I got a stable of Colts, Stag, and Mega that do just fine. Materials get cheaper (polymer) and prices keep on climbing. |

Tag for word from Magpul...or news from shot what ever comes first.
|
|
If the ACR is over 2,500 per base model we should all boycot Bushmaster. Wait no one on here really likes a Bushy anyways, not with LMT`s and Colt`s are available.

that's significantly higher than I was hoping, but I'll wait for an official announcement before I lock away the check book.

If the price is over $2000 I'm out ^This Where is the icon of the little guy smokin crack. But ill wait until we get official word, not rumors. |

I'll wait for the formal announcement, but you know, that's quite a chunk of change. At $2700 I'm out.

Yikes - well, I guess this means I'll stick to my original plan of buying a LaRue OBR, and a Kel-Tec RFB, then use the money I was going to spend on the ACR on NV. $2000+ is way too much for just another 5.56mm rifle.
|
|
If this outrageous $2700 price is correct, tomorrow we will see the "List here what you will buy with the saved ACR money Official Thread"...
|
|
I guess the dream was cool while it lasted.
I'll stick to the AR that I worked and saved for two years to buy. |
|
I suspect the BM Sales Dept was instructed to throw out the $2700 figure just to gage the reaction. You gotta figure BM would price it to compete w/ the $2350 FN SCAR.
|

Hell at $350+ per K for surplus ammo I can't afford the bullets why worry about the price of the plastic rifle. More power to you guys who can afford these toys and actually get to shoot them. I'll keep plugging along with my .22 and enveying you.

1/9 twist barrel?
$2700? They screwed this one up big time. If I ever drop $2700 on a firearm, it will either have a happy switch or be everything I ever dreamed a firearm could be. |
|
Perhaps tomorrow we'll find that the joke was on everyone that was told $2,700.00 Let's hope this is all that it was.
Not too much longer anyway... |

If it was a joke by BM, that's all the more reason to tell them to FOAD. Period. You don't jerk around your customers, or potential customers, like that...especially ones who've been as anxious as the community has been about the ACR. |

If it's really $2700 they are out of their ever living MINDS. I present the LaRue OBR a a rifle that's around
that price that's WORTH it. The OBR is fully machined billet uppers and lowers, handguards... everything. 3/4 MOA and a true work of art. The ACR is a plastic "glock" rifle. The OBR should be $1500 + more expensive than an ACR in my book, based on produxtion costs alone. WTF on this pricing.... holy shit. Think about it... all those injection molded parts vs. machined billet or forgings that take ALOT of machine time, finishing and anodizing.... compared to a mold that spits out a 95% finished product that's probably got $3 worth of FRP in it??? Seriously.... WTF? Pre-emptive rant over.... I'll wait until formal announcements full for full retard version. -ZA |

Not sure what the fuss is. If you're gonna be an "early adopter" you get to pay the "early adopter" price, and have all the fun that experience entails.
For comparison, DSA lists a base model FAL for $1700. I'm gonna guess that the manufacturing cost for a FAL is a bit more than the ACR, especially considering the volume of each. Pricing will remain high while demand exceeds production. That's the only reasonable way to handle it. A $2700 list at release leaves a whole lot of room for further discounting. *shrug* |
|
Everyone just chill. Wait for the official announcement. Any CS rep can tell you anything they want until they have everything tacked. All around the ACR looks to be a very promising weapon system and should be expected to cost a bit higher than the regular AR. It was built ground up. I'm not liking the 1:9 twist either but all this bashing isn't called for just yet. If it comes out to be reasonably priced, then well and good. I'll get one for myself next year (already ordered the OBR). If it's priced too steep then maybe we can look to Remington and hope they have something reasonable for us.

Of course it's most likely been a ploy. I find it kinda humorous really. The announcement tomorrow could potentially make us all future ACR owners!
In any event, it's filled up my day! |
